Peckwater Quadrangle, Grade I listed quadrangle at Christ Church College, Oxford, England

The quadrangle features three identical sides with large windows, classical proportions, and a grand library building on its southern section.

Between 1706 and 1711, architects Henry Aldrich and William Townesend transformed a medieval inn site into this Georgian educational complex.

The quadrangle represents early English neo-Palladian architecture, setting standards for academic building design throughout the eighteenth century.

First-floor corner rooms in the quadrangle provide students with extra living space, oak-paneled walls, and elevated ceilings.

The Bullingdon Club incidents of 1894 and 1927 resulted in extensive damage to the windows and glass features of this academic structure.

Architects: Henry Aldrich, William Townesend
